Beiguan Army Fort, Officer Academy Hall.
On the steps in front of the hall, the huge wooden board that has been washed repeatedly and still retains its charcoal gray color is painted with patterns representing enemy and enemy soldiers. Odo, the deputy commander of the Wells Corps and the commander of the first branch, holding a hardwood carbon rod, is teaching military theory to officers above the level of flag captain of the regiment.
As Art's right-hand man, Odo is not as brave as Angus in fighting, but his ability to think about the laws behind cruel wars is more unique than Angus. Today, the most knowledgeable instructor in the military academy is this former He was an experienced manual laborer, and because of his limited knowledge, he always liked to study a few worn-out military books after fighting on the battlefield, although many times he had to hold the books and ask the clerks around him for advice on the meanings of certain complex letter combinations.
"...The above is a detailed analysis of oblique attack tactics. The application of oblique attack tactics is very extensive. It can be said that any battle, or even any war, can be understood as a deformed application of oblique attack tactics."
h "The most direct one is the confrontation between the enemy and our armies in the field. When the strength is equal or our strength is slightly weaker, we split and reorganize the left, middle and right forces of the army, so that One of the forces was at a relative advantage, and then used its superior force to face the enemy's disadvantage, forming a local battle situation in which more troops fought against fewer troops. For example, in the final decisive battle outside Fort Marcy, the cavalry attacked the flank of the Western infantry at the beginning of the battle. The natural advantage of the cavalry over the infantry allowed us to break through the enemy's right wing. Then the reinforcements from outside the city and the defenders inside the city rushed out, encircling the enemy with the cavalry that had just completed the flank attack, and finally won. "
“Expanding the oblique attack tactics to the battle level, in the final stage of the Battle of the Successor, the Wells Army garrisoned at Fort Marcy and the Liberation Army armies facing off in the east of Thorne formed a front running from north to south. You can understand this front as the front when the two armies faced off.”
On the military front, we are the elite flankers in the oblique attack tactics, responsible for catching the enemy first and then attacking the Western Army in the entire Saône Province."
“Okay, today’s tactics subject is over. This week’s after-school task is to assume that you are commanding a 600-person mixed infantry and cavalry regiment to confront the enemy’s 1,000-person pure infantry regiment in a hilly area. How will you use oblique attack tactics to defeat the enemy. The ratio of the enemy’s and our own arms, the configuration of weapons and equipment, and the battlefield conditions The files will be set by yourself and handed over to me before the dinner on Saturday night. "
"Dismissed!"
In the back row of the school hall, Spencer, the army baggage chief who did not need to participate in this kind of pure military tactics study, was specially summoned by the people from the Military Affairs Office to participate in the study today.
Just when Spencer, who was yawning from the military theory class, put away the hardwood charcoal sticks and papers on the table in front of him and was about to get up and leave with the other officers, Odo walked up to him.
「斯宾塞，一会儿到我的营房来。」奥多留下一句话，转身出了学堂大厅......
............
啪～
军团副长奥多的营房大门刚刚关上，一记响亮的耳光就落到了斯宾塞的脸颊上。
"Lord Odo?" Spencer was stunned by the sudden blow.
Odo angrily walked behind the official desk, pulled out a government inspection report, and patted Spencer on it.
Spencer picked up the toilet paper that fell on the ground and glanced at it for a while. His expression became more and more ugly, and big beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"How many secrets does your baggage department hide?"
Spencer raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Lord Otto, I admit that there are indeed private profit-seeking activities in the legion baggage department, but we only use the caravan channel to operate with our own military pay, and we have never misappropriated military supply and military pay."
"Hmph! Do you think your people will consult with you on anything they do? You don't dare to do it, and neither do those bastards under your command who are blinded by financial interests."
Odo paused after hearing this, closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "No, the inspector of the Military Affairs Office has already led the military law team to arrest the person. They will interrogate those bastards immediately. If you really have no problem, then go back to pick up the pieces. Let's get it done."
"Come, send a guard." After saying this, Odo waved his hands and walked out of the barracks, leaving Spencer, whose face became increasingly paler...
...
Under the city wall on the east side of Beiguan Army Fort, in the military prison, this place usually only holds war criminals captured from the battlefield and a small number of deserters, but today it houses seven or eight officers and soldiers from the baggage department of the Welsh Army.
In a dark secret room at the far end of the prison, the pale-faced captain of the legion's baggage department was trembling slightly in his chair. Daniel, the legion's supervisory adjutant sitting opposite him, held a quill dipped in ink in one hand and a piece of papyrus filled with confessions in the other, "Roger, your baggage clerks and participating baggage soldiers have confessed. Your crime of reselling military supplies, so you don’t need to talk about these things anymore. "
"I now need you to tell me in detail how you got connected with those people in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The baggage captain Rogge is from Gralu County, Yona Province. He is a mountain bandit whom Art subdued when he first served as the patrol officer.
This man's combat prowess was mediocre, but he had worked as an apprentice in a grocery store in his hometown and could do some simple arithmetic. Therefore, he was captured and regarded as a reformable object and incorporated into Spencer's baggage team to become a baggage guard. When a group of bandits besieged the garrison camp in Boulder Town, and the gangsters set up an ambush in the canyon in an attempt to annihilate the rescue team, it was he who reported the secret road around the canyon to Art at the critical moment, which finally turned the crisis around.
Since then, Rogge was first transferred to the caravan as a clerical clerk, and after many twists and turns, he returned to the legion's baggage team as the baggage team leader and deputy baggage captain. Not long ago, the Wells Legion was reorganized, and the baggage corps was upgraded to the Corps Baggage Department. After the original baggage captain was promoted to deputy baggage minister, Rogge took over the captain's position...
Taking two deep breaths, Rogge managed to stop his trembling and said: "I joined the legion during the patrol period. Over the past six or seven years, I have served in the baggage corps and the caravan. I have experienced dozens of wars, large and small, and I was also ambushed and injured while escorting the baggage..."
Rogge talked about his contribution.
"The baggage soldiers are the lower class in the army. They are one level lower than the official. They do the hardest and most tiring work, but enjoy the lowest military pay. We have almost no chance to kill the enemy in battle, so we have the chance to be rewarded for military merit. It’s also extremely small. The old guys who joined the patrol team back then have become banner captains, company captains, and even knights of the flag, but now I am just a knight squire, not even a trainee knight..."
Daniel slammed the table and shouted: "So when Viscount Herace promised to make you a knight and grant you a fief in the name of the palace minister, you were willing to betray the legion and become a mole for them?"
Rogge looked up at Daniel in surprise, "I~ ~Do you all know? "
Daniel pointed at another document on the table and said with a sneer: "Not only do I know about this, I also know that you bought the Welsh Legion's arsenal and personnel for thirty thousand pfennigs to Viscount Herreth."
"You know everything, what else do you want me to say?" Rogge had already disarmed.
"I want to know your contact information with the Prime Minister's Palace, and tell me about the comrades who participated in the rebellion with you. I want to know if there are other high-ranking officers in the legion involved!"
Rogge was silent. He suddenly became silent.
Daniel waited for a long time, and saw that Rogge looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He stood up and walked to Rogge, "Brother Rogge, you have to know that our guy in charge of internal supervision is the most polite and gentle. If you are stubborn again, we will hand you over to the Count's Attendant's Room. When you get to Mr. Ron, You can't just sit and talk quietly like this. "
The Count's Chamber of Servants was upgraded from the original Baron's Chamberlain. It has jurisdiction over the Earl's Guards, the Task Force and all the Eagle Eyes. It belongs to the internal security and intelligence departments, especially those in the Task Force. The methods of torture and extorting information are chilling.
Rogge's face turned paler.
Daniel waited for a while, then turned around and signaled to the military sergeant in the room, "Send Mr. Rogge to the attendant's room."
Rogge finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly, "It's not that I don't want to say it, my illegitimate son is still in their hands.手里呀～」
丹尼尔听罢一惊，「这～你居然还有私生子～」

北关军堡，辎重部官署。
Spencer, the baggage minister, stood at the gate of the government office with his head lowered, watching nervously as Odo walked back and forth carrying a short sword.
...The baggage department had a staff of 120 people, and eight corrupt officials were discovered one after another; in just a few years, nearly 100,000 pfennigs were made for personal gain through the convenience of the baggage train and caravan. "
Otto lifted the dagger and put it on Spencer's shoulder, "No wonder your horse, Spencer, is so fat and strong. It turns out he ate night grass." Is the Baggage Department intending to destroy the entire Wells Army?" Spencer closed his eyes. He knew that no matter how much he cursed the bastards under his command, it would be useless. Even if he did not participate in it, he would definitely not be able to escape the blame.
"Lord Odo, I cannot escape the blame for the scum in the baggage team. I also admit that I have acquiesced in the petty actions of the baggage officers under me. But until this moment, I still dare to swear to God that although I seek wealth, I have never embezzled half a copper coin from the legion. Although I seek glory, I have never had the slightest intention of betrayal."
“Lord Odo, I have been a baggage officer for so many years and have always hidden behind the legions. I hope to die on the battlefield. When my children are born in the future, at least they will not be humiliated by a father who was beheaded and executed on the execution stand. "
"Please convey my last request before death to the Earl, and send me to Nanguan so that I can die gloriously in the battle with the Lombards." Spencer choked with sobs and knelt down with a thud.
The ** of that year has disappeared.
"Just remember that you still have an unborn child!" The anger on Odo's face gradually disappeared, and the dagger on Spencer's shoulder also slipped.
"Atwood Wells, military deputy at the court of the Marquis of Burgundy, Earl of Wales, and commander of the Welsh Army, issued a military order to immediately remove Spencer, the Army's baggage minister, from all military posts, take back the knight's fief, temporarily retain the knight's title, and transfer to the government The Construction Department of the Government Office serves as the deputy manager of the southern pioneer construction, responsible for the construction of commercial roads in the southern part of Wales." "Good performance."
"My lord has said that he believes that he will see Spencer, the baggage minister, again soon."
Odo put his dagger into the sheath and left the baggage department with his hands behind his back...
.....
On that day, the Military Affairs Office issued a military order, and Odo, the deputy commander of the Wells Corps, also served as the corps baggage minister.
Immediately, Odo personally presided over the reorganization of the Baggage Department. Almost all baggage officials above the squadron level were changed (internal rotation) or replaced. The Inspector of the Baggage Department was removed from his post and demoted to the rank of military sergeant.
Two days later, the three moles who colluded with outsiders were beheaded and their bodies hung. The five corrupt officials were all convicted and sent to the labor force, becoming prison slaves at the Wellsburg construction site.
Five days after the incident, a picket team composed of military law sergeants, government security guards, and government bookkeepers, led by Construction Minister Lawrence, left the Wells Valley and went to various European trading houses to carry out pickets.
One week after the incident, Art led the twenty-horse earl guard led by Ron and ran towards the north...
